You also have stomach flu which is not caused by foul food but gets blamed.

When I was twelve my dad took us to a Chinese place for dinner. I got sick that night. I'm certain that it was just a common stomach bug, but despite that conviction it was ten years before I could even smell a Chinese dinner without gagging. Even today, while I'll eat Chinese if it's offered, it's not something I'll intentionally buy for myself.
